Outspoken has-beens playing on bad teams generally don't work out well. He'd be a nightmare with the NYC media and a poor example for the youngsters in the clubhouse. I could envision Wright punching him out in the dugout by May.

But, he is a decent ballplayer when he is playing well (he is a very streaky player), and if the cost is very cheap, then I say why not.

If he can duplicate his 2011 and 2009 seasons, he will be worth the crazy that he brings to the club house.

If he duplicates his 2012 and 2010 seasons, he will not be worth it, but it will be a low risk financially and I'd have to imagine it would only be a one year deal anyway.

So yeah...I am in favor of signing him to a very cheap, one year deal.

This might sound bad but I'd rather role with almost no OF like we have right now and see what our young guys can do. We aren't going to compete this yr anyway. I wouldn't mind getting another high draft pick next yr. We're setting ourselves up pretty well for the future.

Good point.
